    If Williams is untouchable, who else do they have to deal?

    If Portland bends to Minne's bluff (they have no way to sign Batum without our help), then let's not wait the year out (like they did with Cho).... Let's just fire Olshey now.

    Finally some common sense, even from a Minny guy.

    Nothing other than picks. If it's not a good deal then re-sign him and deal him later

    How he became an all-star after we traded him.

    They claimed a year later we sent them damaged goods.

    He technically was damaged - he sucks at basketball.

    I think after he got there, he was hurt, and Minnesota tried to get compensation, saying we sent him there knowing he was injured.
    But fuck, he played for us. Of course he was injured.

    Not really, he was shopped like crazy during the draft. It sounded like they were offering him to anyone with a high pick.

    Derrick Williams doesn't excite me in the least. That being said, I'd rather take him than anything else from Minne that's available.

    But I still would rather sign Batum (whether to the QO or matching) and deal with him later.

    Williams has a chance to blow up. Remember, no off season for him last year

    Yeah... that Luke Babbitt trade has really worked out for us. We sure got the better of that deal!
